Esschert Design - Barn Swallow's Nest

This barn swallow nest from Esschert Design Best for Birds is specially designed for the barn swallow. The material of which this nest is made is concrete, which gives it a natural look. The nest is attached to a plywood plate. Due to the durable material, the nests are less fragile and resistant to weather influences such as water and frost. Because the nests are handmade, each nest is unique in shape, so the nest may differ slightly from the photos. The barn swallow nest is designed in such a way that, just like how swallows build their own nests, it can be attached under the roof boarding with the top of the nest against the overhang. This creates a closed cavity with a flight groove. Barn swallows like to nest against a white background and often nest with several at the same time. It is therefore best to hang the barn swallow nest with several barn swallow nests together. By applying bird products to your garden, you create a cozy atmosphere in your garden in both summer and winter. The barn swallow nest is easy to hang up through the pre-drilled holes in the plywood plate and is lightweight due to the material. The breeding season of the barn swallow starts in May and lasts until September, they lay 3 to 8 eggs and nest 2 to 3 times a year. Barn swallows will stay in the nest box for a few weeks after the eggs hatch. After the breeding season, you can clean the nest with warm water and a brush to avoid pests such as parasites.
